The old European cut diamond is the ancestor of the current brilliant cut. These stones, very popular at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, have a small table, a high crown, an open culet, and a deep pavilion. They can reflect the light in dramatic, broad strokes called fire with 58 chunky facets, typical of a person who loves old-fashioned beauty.
These cultured diamonds have a centuries-old flair and provide contemporary, responsible mining. They are so good at this halo and set in solitaire, where they even make their outstanding personality. Not every one of them will dazzle as radiantly as round brilliants, but these are the diamonds of an old world with an extraordinary fascination. Old European cuts are precisely what has been needed to create a new antique engagement ring or other heirloom jewelry made out of sustainable brilliance.
